The Miracle in the Desert

"One of the biggest arithmetical miracles in the world"

Moses and the people were in the desert, but what was he going to do with
them? They had to be fed, and feeding 3 million people requires a lot of food.
According to the Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses
would have to have 1,500 tons of food each day. Do you know that to bring that
much food each day, two freight trains each a mile long would be required!
Besides you must remember, they were out in the desert, and they would have to
have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4,000 tons of wood and
a few more freight trains each a mile long, just for one day. And just think,
they were forty years in transit. Oh, yes, they would have to have water. If
they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000
gallons each day and a freight train with tank cars 1,800 miles long, just to
bring water! And then another thing. They had to get across the Red Sea at
night. They did! Now, if they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would
be 800 miles long and would require 35 days and nights to get through. So, there
had to be a space in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5,000
abreast to get over in one night. But then another problem. Each time they
camped at the end of the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of
Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles long, think of it!
This space was just for nightly camping. Do you think Moses figured all this out
before he left Egypt? I think not! You see, Moses believed in God. God took care
of these things for him. Do you think God can take care of all your needs,
beloved people of God? I believe so!
